The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 E and the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art is the longer of the two lenses at 131mm. The Viltrox 13mm F1.4 E with a length of 90mm, is 41mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art also has a larger diameter of 85mm compared to the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 E's 74mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Viltrox 13mm F1.4 E weighs 420g, which means it is 375g (47%) lighter than the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art which has a weight of 795g.

Viltrox 13mm F1.4 E is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 13mm which has an effective (full-frame 35mm equivalent) focal range of
19.5mm when used on a APS-C / DX format camera.
On the other hand, the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art has a focal range of 14-24mm and 1.7X zoom ratio . When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.5x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of 21 - 36mm.
